Carb help

[ddq]

So I just put a 38mm Mikuni TM on my 96 blaster. I was told a bigger carb would help but its actually made the motor feel sluggish and slow. John said it would make it faster and Matt did too, but I feel like they tricked me. The main jet is a 350 and I put a 35 pilot in it. John said if I take the baffle out of the silencer it will help but I dont know if I trust John anymore. What should I do?

do you have you engine set up for a bigger carb like porting or anything like that?

 

[Hyper]

Unless you have some other mods that big of a carb is going to rob your bottom end. Your prob still rich as hell too. Pull plugs and see what they look like. I dont know if you can trst john.

No, the motor is all stock but Id like to get some porting done and regear it. Who does good port work around here?

You would be better off going back to a stock carb. The guys here seem to promote ken o connor.

Ken O Connor? I havent heard of him but I will look into it. I guess I could go back to a stock carb but then IVe got this big 38mm and nothing to do with it. Do you need one?

yea i would sell that big carb and go back to a stocker and also ken o connor does do some amazing work. keep the stock carb until you have some engine work done and reeds and a pipe and stuff like that or yea the carb is gonna slow you down.

OK so I have to have engine work to benefit from a bigger carb?

yea for sure and having a 38 mm carb your going to need alot of engine work, so unless you want to spend ATLEAST over 1200 dollars keep your stock carb, what mods do you have right now. and who in the hell is mike and jon?

 

[ddq]

The motor is bone stock right now. Ive got works shock and nerf bars but thats it. Everything else is stock. John and Matt are my riding buddies. They are weird though, I really dont like them very much.

Why do you have a 350 main jet, with no mods? To me that doesn't make any sense.

 

[DeJay126]

If nothing is done to the bike, your main jet should only be 230. That's stock on a blaster. A 350 is crazy. That's why the quads running like crap. Go back to stock carb, and put the 230 back in. I'm fairly new at this, but I've done some carb work on mine. I have an FMF Powercore 2 pipe, and took my airbox lid off, and I'm running a 290 main jet, and I'm pretty rich. Just haven't had time to do plug chops yet.

Atleast its not a freak like my lt250r.. agressive trail/mx ported.. no air box lid lrd pipe... an only a 250 main

 

[blasterdemon7]

Wow! A 38mm? That's a huge carb for anything but a all top end built Blaster.

I was going to put the stock carb back on today but one of the boots was torn so I am going to have to wait for a new one to get it back together.
